Performance Analysis of a Mobile WiMAX Network under the Impact of Node Mobility and Handover

چکیده
In a cellular network, as the mobile devices move from cell to cell during an ongoing continuous communication, handover is performed for switching from one cell frequency to a different cell frequency, without interruption to the ongoing session. Mobile WiMAX handover mechanisms suffer from certain drawbacks, particularly related to wastage of channel resources, handover latencies and loss of data. However, the long interruption of handover is horrible for delay and packet loss sensitive real-time applications such as VoIP and Video conferencing. Success of a good mobility framework largely depends on the potential of performing quick and seamless handovers. So, different handover related WiMAX research

Inter-Domain Handover in WiMAX Networks Using Optimized Fast Mobile IPv6
The most attractive feature of WiMAX is arguable the mobility capability that IEEE 802.16e (IEEE, 2004) standard adds to the previous standard. With mobility support, handover has become one of the most important factors that impact the performance of IEEE 802.16e system. Handover is the process of maintaining active sessions of a mobile station when it migrates from current base station to tar...
متن کاملAnalysis of Packet Loss and Latency Control for Robust IPTV over Mobile WiMAX and LTE Assessment (RESEARCH NOTE)
Abstract The streamed audio video (AV) content for IPTV across mobile WiMAX channel, the different schemes were discussed to reduce the noise, packet loss and latency. The objective of this paper is to verify the effectiveness of forward error correction (FEC) techniques and to suggest the techniques for robustness problems and to analysis the issues either due to AV coding encoding or due to...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Mobile Wimax Ieee 802.16e for Hard Handover
Seamless handover in wireless networks is to guarantee both service continuity and service quality. In WiMAX, providing scalability and quality of service for multimedia services during handover is a main challenge because of high latency and packet loss. In this paper, we created four scenarios using Qualnet 5.2 Network Simulator to analyze the hard handover functionality of WiMAX under differ...
متن کاملThe Impact of Traffic Type and Node Mobility on an 802.16 Mobile WiMAX for Varying Network Sizes: A Simulation Study
While WiMAX handoff characteristics and quality of service (QoS) provisioning have been explored by many network researchers, the effect of traffic type, node mobility and network size on WiMAX has not been fully explored yet. This paper therefore reports on a study of the impact of traffic type and node mobility on the performance of a typical mobile 802.16 WiMAX for varying network sizes. The...
متن کاملAlgorithm for the Selection of Target Base Station during Handover in Mobile Wimax 802.16e
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) specified by IEEE 802.16 supports Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN). In the environment of WMAN the mobile client has high mobility as it moves from the coverage area of Serving Base Station (SBS) to Target Base Station (TBS). Handoff is one of the Quality of Service (QoS) parameter in the WiMAX network which supports mobility and ...
